Three evenings per week – Motown Mondays, Jazz Thursdays and Smooth Sundays – musicians will perform throughout Disney Springs, playing tunes sure to stir the soul. In addition, select dining locations will feature special menu items, including Amorette’s Patisserie offering treats inspired by “Soul” and Walt Disney Animation Studio’s “The Princess and the Frog.” Also at Disney Springs, several retail locations will spotlight products from Black designers, artists and visionaries. ‘Movies Under the Stars’ at Select Disney Resort Hotels As part of their “Movies Under the Stars” program, select Disney Resort hotels throughout the month of February will show films celebrating Black culture, such as “The Princess and the Frog.” These complimentary movie screenings are available to guests of Disney Resort hotels, offering relaxing evening entertainment for the whole family in a serene outdoor setting.

Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new feature film “Soul” introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voice of Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions. Directed by Academy Award® winner Pete Docter (“Inside Out,” “Up”), co-directed by Kemp Powers (“One Night in Miami”) and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray, p.g.a. (Pixar short “Lou”), Disney and Pixar’s “Soul” is now streaming on Disney+ (where Disney+ is available)..

  • L'uso Dei Cortometraggi Nella Scuola Primaria
    Insegnamento “Laboratorio di Linguaggi Audiovisivi” Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria Docente: Andrea Fiorucci L’USO DEI CORTOMETRAGGI NELLA SCUOLA PRIMARIA Possibili scenari didattico-educativi e ipotesi di intervento A cura di Andrea Fiorucci Insegnamento “Laboratorio di Linguaggi Audiovisivi” Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria Docente: Andrea Fiorucci 1)Titolo PIP https://youtu.be/07d2dXHYb94 Data di uscita: 2018 Regista: Bruno Simões Montaggio: Studio Kimchi Animation: Toni Buenavida, Matthieu Poirey, David Rubio Musica: Aurélien Vieira Lino Produzione: Southeastern Guide Dogs/Studio Kimchi Paese: Portogallo SINOSSI1: Pip è un cucciolo di cane che ha il desiderio di partecipare ad un corso per diventare cane guida per persone con disabilità visiva. Nonostante non possegga tutte le caratteristiche necessarie per accedervi, l'istruttore decide di accoglierlo nel suo team. Dopo le prime difficoltà Pip riuscirà ad inserirsi nel gruppo, ma, il giorno della prova finale farà un errore che gli costerà l’espulsione. Uscito dalla scuola di addestramento, preso dallo sconforto e dalla tristezza, Pip si ritroverà a dover aiutare una donna cieca in difficoltà. Sarà a quel punto che l’istruttrice, l’esaminatore e tutti i suoi compagni noteranno il suo talento e la sua bontà d’animo e finalmente il suo sogno sarà coronato. MESSAGGIO SOCIALE: Tale cortometraggio insegna a non arrendersi mai davanti alle difficoltà e a credere nei propri sogni e obiettivi. Pip è un cucciolo con un grande sogno, quello di diventare una guida per ipovedenti, ma il corso universitario al quale si iscrive per ottenere questa qualifica si rivela essere più difficile del previsto, innanzitutto per via della sua statura, più bassa rispetto alla norma, che contribuisce ad alimentare il pregiudizio nei suoi confronti.

  • “Aquí Es Donde Todo Empezó. Este Es El Momento En El Que Me Enamoré Del Jazz
    “Aquí es donde todo empezó. Este es el momento en el que me enamoré del jazz. ¡Escucha eso! Ves, la melodía es solo el punto de partida. ¿Me entiendes? La música es solo una excusa para sacar afuera tu verdadero yo”. ~Joe Gardner, SOUL NOTAS DE PRODUCCIÓN ¿Qué es aquello que te hace único? SOUL, la nueva película de Pixar Animation Studios, presenta a Joe Gardner (voz en inglés de Jamie Foxx), un profesor de música de una escuela secundaria cuya verdadera pasión es el jazz. “El mayor sueño de Joe es convertirse en pianista profesional de jazz”, señala Pete Docter, director de la película. “Así que cuando le ofrecen la rara e irrepetible oportunidad de tocar con una de las grandes, Joe siente que ha llegado a la cima de la montaña”. Pero un pequeño traspié lo lleva de las calles de la ciudad de Nueva York a El Gran Antes, un lugar fantástico donde las almas nuevas obtienen su personalidad, carácter e intereses antes de ir a la Tierra. Según cuenta Docter, la idea de este mundo peculiar lleva 23 años gestándose. “Empezó con mi hijo, ahora de 23 años, quien desde el instante en que nació, ya tenía una personalidad”, señala Docter. “¿De dónde vino eso? Yo pensaba que la personalidad se desarrollaba a través de la interacción con el mundo. Y, sin embargo, estaba bastante claro que todos nacemos con un sentido único y muy específico de quiénes somos”. “En nuestra historia, todos nacen con un alma”, continúa Docter. “Y esas almas no aparecen así porque sí, sin estar preparadas, sino que son entrenadas y se les da una personalidad e intereses”.
